MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES
AT 2,000 HOURS OR 2 YEARS
Air Compressor Discharge Lines (Not Used)
General Information
All air compressors have a small amount of lubricating oil
carryover that lubricates the piston rings and moving parts.
When this lubricating oil is exposed to normal air compressor
operating temperatures over time, the lubricating oil will form
varnish or carbon deposits. If the following maintenance check
are not performed, the air compressor piston rings will wear and
not seal correctly.
Maintenance Check
Wear appropriate eye and face protection when using
compressed air. Flying debris and dirt can cause personal
injury.
Shut off the engine.
Open the drain valve on the wet tank to release the system air
pressure.
Remove the air compressor discharge line from the air
compressor. Location of the air compressor discharge line can
be found in Flow Diagram, Compressed Air System in "System
